Here's another go early in the evening, after the wind had subsided to 10mph...

Didn't bring the 450 for this one, but tomorrow...

Really? I have the 750mm P47, and all I have to do is give it a toss at full throttle, and immediately back it off to 3/4. I don't think I've ever thrown it. Also a big issue with most of these...

With a bit of apprehension, and a 10-15mph wind with gusts to 20mph, brought along to the soccer field these:
8214
I found out with the help of the Orange 3 Axis Stabilizer in the plane, and the 6...

On a 4 channel rig the flybar is more or less it's "gyro"...has weights on the ends that aid in stability, it wouldn't allow the heli to invert without striking either the boom, canopy, or both,...

How exactly does that work? Obviously not 5 servos for each blade, 3 blades, and the other 2 are for extra lift??

Another "maiden flight" of sorts, first flight of my FMS 750MM P47 with an Orange 3 Axis Stabilizer installed, and what a difference from when I first got this plane! I don't have to fight it to get...

Yes, they are! And so stable! It's actually very responsive for something that big, I mean, I'd hit the stick right, and it went right, need to get used to the fact I don't have to fight it like the...

Up at the crack of Dawn, and off to the soccer field we go with 3 airplanes, and the 450, and the entire morning went off without a hitch, flew the 450 around, albeit timidly, but I DID actually fly...

If it's flipping to the left it could be something called "Torque Roll" caused by the motor at full RPM. If you look at the spinner from the top, you'll notice it has a slight rightward angle, and...

Might need to re-crimp the orange wire in the plug, sounds like it's shorting out when the retracts vibrate going down or up, shaking the plug maybe? Sounds to me like you have a short to chase...

I'm using the imax B6 charger to charge/discharge/balance/store my LiPo batteries, and I'm using it with a 6 amp power supply. I've noticed with anything larger than 2 cell batteries, the charger...

You ain't gonna hand launch that T6, I made the same mistake when I got my FMS 1400mm P47...didn't take into account at the time that flying places for such a large plane would be limited, but when I...

6 year old chopper probably does have a flybar, I'd be-a-scarfin' it m'self if'n you'ns weren't!
And it's like anything else. Look at flatscreen TVs, when they first came out they were prohibitively...

Another hover venture today trying out some new batteries, namely the Turnigy Nano-tech 2650mAh 33-70c LiPos, and in my ongoing effort to get a "feel for the old girl" discovered I get almost 3...

Damn, 4 flights and the stock battery is already crapping out?! Cell 1 is at 4.10, cells 2 and 3 are at 4.20, so I guess I can expect it to start puffing here soon? Battery's junk!

Well folks, first major crash with Nano leaves me with a twice now repaired tail boom (still works!), and a broken swash, contemplating an all metal head/shaft for it, we'll see, I don't know if I...

My sentiments exactly! I dunno though, it would seem (at least to me) that if the blades were sloppy you wouldn't have as much rudder authority as you would if they were tight just because they're...

OK, that's how I have it now, and it's working like it should, just notice quite a few pilots have them considerably looser than their mains, I guess it's one of those "whatever-floats-your-boat"...

I'm familiar with the spec for main blade tightness, but am wondering if the tail blades should be the same, or should they have more movement? I've seen more than a few videos and noticed the blades...

That's lookin' pretty nice! Do believe my next Helicopter will be some sort of Align...maybe larger than my 450? I dunno yet, gonna see how things go with the 450...

Oh yeah, this little critter was honkin' right along, so it's basically rebranded, made by Walkera. And the funny thing is what tipped me off to it's origin was the foil tape on the tip of the...

Hey that was Nick Maxwell doin' that SICK 3D stuff...WOW! I'll never be that good...

I was just over at another R.C. website, and the entity is selling what looks suspiciously like a miniature version of my V450D01, same color and everything, with the "Devo 8" transmitter. They're...

I dunno aMawds, wouldn't matter to me if they're cheap (sic) or not, if they work better than what's there now, that's all that should matter. Servos on my V450D01 took the crash better than I...

Most likely a silly question, but are those E-Razor Helicopters Art Tech?
+1 on the training wheels, they help you to react to the tilt you're going to experience no matter what you try to do to...
